The American Society on Aging (ASA) is hosting an upcoming webinar titled “Team Approaches to High-Quality, Patient-Centered Palliative Care.” This presentation will define palliative care as a medical service that acknowledges the person beyond their disease process. The discussion will cover multidisciplinary, patient-centered team approaches to meet the comprehensive needs of seriously ill patients, reduce the burden of symptoms, and improve quality of life. Participants in this webinar will learn to identify when palliative care is appropriate, evaluate team approaches relative to the palliative care continuum, analyze systems-level considerations in implementing palliative care, and review practical resources for palliative care.
